Objective To retrospectively analyse the anterior and posterior surgical approaches in treatment of unstable burst thoracolumbar fractures and compare radiographic measurement parameters of beth surgical techniques so as to provide references for surgical treatment of such kind of fracture. Methods The study selected 41 patients with unstable thoracolumbar fracture treated with either anterior neurodecomprossion and fixation (n=19) or posterior reposition and internal fixation by pedicle screw (n=22) from January 2003 to December 2005. All patients were followed up for 24-48 months ( mean 38 months) and divided into anterior approach group and posterior approach group. Sagittal alignment was assessed by the Cobb angle depending on lateral radiographs. Results The Cobb angle of the anterior approach group was average 27.3°on admission but 3.1°postoperatively and 4.6° at follow-up; while the Cobb angle of posterior approach was average 26.1° on admission, 3.0°postoperatively and 12.5°at follow-up. There was no statistical difference between Cobb angle on admission and postoperative one (P>0.05) but showed significant differences between them at follow-up ( P<0.01). Conclusion The anterior surgical approach can consistently yield better maintenance of kyphotic correction compared with the posterior surgical approach.

Conclusion Hui nationality patients with acute myocardial infraction are more younger and are are more prone to suffering from diabetes history、lower smoking history and lower drinking history than Han nationality patients. The coronary artery lesions of Hui nationality patients with acute acute myocardial infraction are more three?branch lesions than Han nationality patients.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have indicated that ulinastatin can inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis on RAW264.7 cells and also lower matrix metal oproteinase-9 expression and activity. However, it remains be unclear whether ulinastatin has the intervention effect on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-induced MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast apoptosis or not. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To explore the intervention role of ulinastatin on the PMMA-induced MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast apoptosis and its effects on type I col agen, osteocalcin, matrix metal oproteinase-2 mRNA expression. ＜br> METHODS:MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblasts at passages 6 and 7 were divided into four groups:blank group (only cultured MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast), PMMA-induced group (MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast+1 g/L PMMA bone cement suspension), low dose ulinastatin group (MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast+1 g/L PMMA bone cement suspension+500 U/mL ulinastatin) and high dose ulinastatin group (MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast+1 g/L PMMA bone cement suspension+5 000 U/mL ulinastatin). MTT method was adopted to detect the proliferation activity of proliferative activity of MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast;alizarin red staining method was used to observe mineralization nodules of MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast among different groups;the change of apoptosis rate for MC3T3-E1 cells was detected by flow cytometry analysis;semi-quantitative RT-PCR was taken to analyze type I col agen, osteocalcin, matrix metal oproteinase-2 mRNA expression level in MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblasts among different groups. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank group, PMMA significantly inhibited the proliferation activity of MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast (P＜0.05), and however significantly promoted cells apoptosis (P＜0.05). After addition of different concentrations of ulinastatin (500, 5 000 U/mL), the proliferation activity of MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblasts significantly raised (P＜0.05), and cells apoptosis rate significantly decreased (P＜0.05), showing the dose and time-dependent relation. Type I col agen and osteocalcin mRNA expression levels both significantly decreased after co-culture in PMMA group compared with the blank group (P＜0.05), matrix metal oproteinase-2 mRNA expression level, however, significantly increased (P＜0.05). After intervention with 5000 U/mL ulinastatin, type I col agen and osteocalcin mRNA expression levels both significantly increased, while matrix metal oproteinase-2 mRNA expression level significantly decreased (P＜0.05). PMMA group showed no obvious mineralization nodules. Yet, mineralization nodules were formed in the blank group, high and low dose ulinastatin groups. These results indicate that ulinastatin could have the inhibitory effect on the PMMA-induced MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast apoptosis, and it could promote type I col agen and osteocalcin mRNA expression and yet suppress matrix metal oproteinase-2 mRNA expression.

Objective Myelodysplastic spndrome (MDS) patients' chromosome aberrations were detected by CC and FISH method respectively,to establish standard FISH platform of diagnosis of MDS,to compare the differences of FISH and CC in the detection of MDS chromosome aberrations.Methods Chinese MDS patients fulfilled with the Vienna minimum diagnostic criteria were tested by CC and FISH method,and the patients' clinical data was collected at the same time.Results The standard FISH platform of diagnosis of MDS was established successfully,including probe combination of-5/5q-,+8,-7/7q-,20q-,-Y,the success rate was 100 ％.In 83 cases of MDS,chromosome aberrations rate detected by two methods was 42.2 ％,30.1％ of CC method and 33.7 ％ of FISH method,the accordant diagnostic rate was 76.1％.FISH had higher positive rate than CC method (29.6 ％ vs 18.6 ％,P =0.049) in the IPSS intermedian-risk 1 group,but lower positive rate in IPSS intermedian-risk 2 group (62.5 ％ vs 81.2 ％,P =0.036).There were 11 (19.0 ％) cases of clonal chromosome aberrations detected by FISH method but not detected by CC method,in which 10 (90.9 ％) cases were intermedian-risk 1 group (IPSS grouping).Evaluate IPSS by FISH and CC respectively,the accordant rate was 86.7 ％.Evaluate IPSS by CC alone will result in 3 patients (3.6 ％)decline in risk stratification,and evaluate IPSS by FISH alone will result in 8 patients (9.6 ％) decline in risk stratification.There were 35 (42.2 ％) cases of chromosome aberrations detected by the two methods,including 13 (15.7 ％) cases of complex karyotype and 22 (26.5 ％) cases of single abnormal karyotype.The most common chromosomal aberration was +8,a total of 9 (10.8 ％) cases,followed by abnormalities of chromosome 7,a total of 7 (8.4 ％) cases.Conclusion The study has established standard FISH platform of diagnosis of MDS,the method is stable,sensitive and rapid.FISH technology joint CC technology can improve the patients with MDS chromosome aberration detection rate.Compared to CC,FISH technique can improve the detection rate of the intermedian-risk 1 IPSS grouping MDS patients.Because of limited probe,FISH technique can not entirely replace the role of CC method in MDS,but can complement each other.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of left atrial function with feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (FT-CMR) by evaluating preliminarily left atrial strain and strain rate in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods Thirty patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, thirty patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and twenty-two healthy subjects were enrolled. All the subjects underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with the real steady-state free precession(SSFP) sequence. FT-CMR parameters included left atrial strain and strain rate parameters, left atrial volume and function parameters were detected by using offline cardiovascular analysis software, respectively. Left atrial strain and strain rate parameters included left atrial total strain(Εs), passive strain(Εe), active strain(Εa), peak positive strain rate(SRs), peak early negative strain rate(SRe)and peak late negative strain rate(SRa). Volume and function parameters included maximum of left atrial volume(LAVmax), minimum of left atrial volume(LAVmin), total left atrial emptying fraction(LATEF), passive left atrial emptying fraction(LAPEF)and active left atrial emptying fraction(LAAEF). The differences in the general data among the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group, the persistent atrial fibrillation group and the control group were compared by usingχ2 test or ANOVA analysis. The differences in all parameters between the atrial fibrillation group and the control group, the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group and the persistent atrial fibrillation group were compared by using independent t test. Left atrial strain and strain rate parameters on an intra-observer and inter-observer were determined by intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)analyses. Results Compared to control group, LAVmax and LAVmin in atrial fibrillation group were significantly increased(t=9.737,7.889,P<0.001);The LATEF and LAPEF had no significant difference, the LAAEF in two groups had statistically significant difference(t=-4.762,P<0.001).The absolute value of Es, Ee, Ea, SRs, SRe, SRa in atrial fibrillation group were significantly reduced than in control group(t=-7.732,-6.610,-6.493,-7.546, 6.864, 5.917,P<0.001). Compared with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group, LAVmax and LAVmin in persistent atrial fibrillation group were increased obviously, LATEF and LAPEF were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant(t=-4.575,-5.524, 4.002, 4.028,P<0.001).The LAAEF in two groups had no statistically significant difference. Compared with strain and strain rate in two groups, absolute value of Es, Ee, Ea, SRs, SRe, SRa in persistent atrial fibrillation group significantly decreased than in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(t=4.310, 3.128, 4.465, 5.496,-3.290,-3.863,P<0.001). The intra-group and inter-group had well correlation coefficients between the observers in the left atrial strain and strain rate parameters of the subjects(ICC=0.85—0.94,0.81—0.90). Conclusions FT-CMR technique can be used to assess the left atrial strain and strain rate in patients with atrial fibrillation;Left atrial reservoir, conduit and booster-pump functions in patients with atrial fibrillation were impaired. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation had worse left atrial function throughout the entire cardiac cycle compared with those with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
